Max Payne WIP/ ENGLISH
The Max Payne patch is in progress. It's an old Remedy game utilizing obsolete APIs, such as DirectSound and DirectX 8, but still a classic, beloved by many.
The target of this particular fix is to fix the modern systems compatibility, implement widescreen support and fix certain high FPS bugs.
The startup.
First on our list, the original 1.05 game can't properly read CPU capabilities, leading to a startup crash (the infamous "JPEG error"). That is fixed now. I also redesigned the original game launcher, allowing for GPU/Display selection, and primary display with its native resolution as default, no more 640x480 default. I've also removed odd resolutions from the list, such as 1280x1440, keeping only the ones with native aspect ratio. I don't know why 2001 needs GPU selection, it could run fine even if Windows have decided to run it on an integrated toaster, but, here it is.
